[QUOTE="Edena_of_Neith, post: 1990103, member: 2020"] OOC: Actually, if you take the stories of Drizzt Do'Urden at face value, it will take the drow an entire Turn (all of Turn 2) to acclimate enough they can function at all in sunlight. After that, it will take several years for them to fully acclimate and become comfortable in sunlight. This assumes no magic is used to speed the process. It isn't just their eyes. It's their bodies. Imagine a person from high latitudes, stuck suddenly in the equatorial sun. The drow are almost vampiric, in their sensitivity to sunlight. But ... First of all, call them elves. For ease, just refer to them as the Star Elves, since starlight is the brightest light they can currently comfortably tolerate. Secondly, they will make the transition. They are a strong people. And thirdly, I like your allusion to a Rebirth. There was a First Flowering of the Elves. Perhaps we'll have a Second Flowering of the Elves now. :) (Forrester would be horrified.) The Elves of Aliador, would welcome the Star Elves amongst themselves, but they would be cautious for a while. The Elves of Miranda, Marchwards, and Elvanian Forest would welcome the Star Elves amongst themselves, because Kalanyr decreed it so. But the Elves of Celene and the Lendores are Canon. They are stuck in the past. They will not welcome the Star Elves. They will not welcome them, anymore than most people would welcome cockroaches into their homes. They are stuck on the Seldarine Doctrine, and imprisoned by it. I have no idea where Serpenteye is. I'm guessing he has computer trouble. I wish him well, and hope he returns soon. [/QUOTE]
